Re: Suns @ Wolves, 2:30 CDT
It still amazes me how Kmart plays 32 mpg, he has 25% of usage and being a sg he doesn't get even 2 assits per game
He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.

Adelman is trolling us.

Re: Suns @ Wolves, 2:30 CDT
Glad I missed this one.
No surprise really. I can see the team didn't defend, RA gon' RA, Barea is a natural born tank general, and our top scoring options disappear late in games.
This team is one dimensional. Nothing worse than to be a mediocre team, especially a mediocre team that can't even make the POs to get their asses whooped in the first round.

Can someone remind me why we signed Martin to 4 years?
Because he is a great shooter?
Because he is clutch late in the game?
Pfff can't remember.

Only a few more weeks of Adelman guys, and hopefully Barea.

I'm happy that Rubio keeps shooting well. This is an important development for our future.

He's capable of high volume scoring on excellent efficiency. Tonight, for example, he put up 25 points on 16 shots, which is excellent.
Unfortunately, he does nothing else, which is why he should be coming off of the bench.

Ricky Rubio now shooting 38% on the season. TS of 49.7. Shooting 47% on march. Pretty big deal.

I dont really care too much anymore if we lose, but it still makes me mad to see us choke like they did today.

Pre-All Star:
36.1 fg%
34.4 3pt%
43.8% at the rim
47.6 TS%
Post All Star:
45.7 fg%
44.4 3pt%
56.7% at the rim
57.3 TS%
Whoever he worked with over the all star break, Flip needs to hire him.

Didn't watch, but see the terrible 4th numbers, 34-17, yep, no surprise.
What could the team possibly do to change the culture of 4th quarter choking? Allmost all the players responsable will be back next year, so it won't change......Love will still miss shots and commit TOs, Rubio will still commit TOs, Martin will still flail around an hoist up a terrible shots....

57.3 TS for him is just absurd. Would rank 9th on Pgs on the season. If he's capable of putting a 52 TS, I'd be ecstatic.

Re: Suns @ Wolves, 2:30 CDT
Was at the game. First of the season. Brutal.
Late in the game when JJ came out on the court the fans were booing him.
The person I was with, they adon't watch the wolves. When we were up big at the third they were excited we scored 100 points. I said we were only up by 10 and needed that 20 point lead because we are choke artist. Said the game is in danger.
Sure enough, the wolves wolved it up and played like trash to close the game.
Brewer had like 3 critical mistakes in a row at one point that killed us.
Missed shots.
Lost nerves.
I was shocked at how man fans were actually in attendance.
Everyone was sorely disappointed at the end. You could just see it coming. I think we ended the third with 100 points and halfway through the 4th we only had 8.
Shabazz looked like he got taken advantage of a couple of teams on defense, Adleman probably didn't like that. He played with heart though, looked like he was grabbing boards and he got some nice buckets. I wish we went to him more.
I was disappointed we blew this game. We have serious issues closing games, its a big problem.

Gassing your starters because you are too much of an old turd to trust any minutes to your rookies or put out a 2nd unit that makes sense together, instead of throwing sh*t (JJ) at the wall and then getting frustrated when it doesn't work each night.
Oh, and then blame the starters for a lack of energy or shooting or some sh*t (while leaving out the one rim protector we have).
Can't think of anything better than the strategy above, you're right, there's no hope.
P.S. You're stupid, and you don't know dick about basketball.

Re: Suns @ Wolves, 2:30 CDT
Has Adelman ripped JJ ONCE this year in a post game?
Seems like he finds any reason to take a shot at Rubio, but JJ is above reproach apparrently.
Bye Rick, I know why Houston wanted you out now.

Would any of you happen to know what Love's shooting percentage is on game winning or game tying FG attempts at end of games? And also his turnover ratio at end of games?

Pfff can't remember.
So let's say starter and primary back, there are 60 SGs in the NBA.
Try and find 20 good ones.
